If it grosses you out to read it, imagine what it was like to live it.

If a guy calls a girl a slut guys have no problem believing him. But if 40 women accuse a guy of being a sexual predator people still don’t believe them.

I saw the title. I knew what I was getting into. And yet, still I clicked, still I read. “red like raw hamburger”...dear god, there are no words.

And you keep it in mind when other victims with mental health issues are too scared to even report their attackers, knowing that if they do and are psychologically unable to attend trial, they could be sent to jail.

Sometimes women don’t have the luxury of worrying about what helps or hurts the cause, when they’re more worried about staying alive. DV victims are at a great risk when they’ve left their abusers. If they’re afraid to go to court, they are probably afraid with good reason. These women who ditch a court date at the

Yea because usually nothing happens the the male... while the woman has to relive the incident in front of a room of people she doesn’t know to be judged.... when she has anxiety. Why didn’t the state pick it up and press charges why does it matter if she drops them. The state can but won’t so don’t say it’s her

When Sotomayor was nominated, Newt said that this very sentiment — that White people cannot understand some things the way people from a minority background can — was a display of racism that should disqualify a person from holding office. What he said today isn’t a “complex thought,” it’s a straight up repudiation of

Conservative white politicians don’t even want that for poor white people so kindly take that talking point elsewhere.

Yeah. That’s why a lot of prosecutors’ offices have a separate division just for DV cases, because of the special challenges that come with uncooperative witnesses. It can be horribly traumatic to go through this whole process, having so many intimate details of your life shared with the pubic, to be used against that

But the system is not working for victims, that’s the whole point. The system is slow, complicated, expensive, and unresponsive to the unique needs of DV survivors. And it does little to nothing to protect survivors from the dangers they face by reporting.

I can tell from most of these responses you have never had to deal with an abusive partner, a stalker or the justice system when you try to deal with aforementioned problem.

It’s not hard to understand that Republicans can have complex thoughts. It’s hard to understand why Newt Gingrich is currently expressing an empathetic perspective that is entirely contrary to his previously expressed opinions.

The notion that the black experience in America is and has always been fundamentally different from the white experience in America is not a “complex thought”. It’s a blatantly obvious observation to any semi-aware adult.

It’s not that he Can’t be complex it’s that what he said is the opposite of what he has been saying for years. Yes, we can hope he has grown as a person, but as a cynic I am more likely to believe that he said this so when Trump adds him to the ticket he can look like the sane one.

The point is stopping someone from killing them in that moment. If someone is attacking me and I call 911, I am not calling because I want that person to be prosecuted. I am calling because if I do not, then I might die.

Are judges in Florida elected or appointed? Can we have her removed? She feels remorse now? What about making some amends to the woman she essentially forced to go back to her abuser? What happened to her child during the 3 days she was in prison? Foster care? Stayed with the abusive bio-Dad?

“You think you’re going to have anxiety now? You haven’t even seen anxiety.”

You think you’re going to have remorse now? You haven’t even seen remorse. <— would have liked this said to her during her sanctions hearings.

I am extremely grateful, to this day, that the assistant DA who handled my DV case was as warm, helpful, feeling...geez I can’t even find the words to express how much she helped me, just by being patient with me and sympathizing with me. She gave me the strength to carry on, no matter how conflicted I felt, and was
